Is Assad sunni?
Bashar al-Assad, the President of Syria, is not Sunni; he belongs to the Alawite sect, which is an offshoot of Shia Islam. The Alawites have historically been a minority in Syria, and Assad's regime has been characterized by its support from this sect. The sectarian dynamics in Syria have played a significant role in the ongoing conflict in the country.
Who are the alawites?
The Alawites are a religious minority in Syria, Lebanon, and Turkey (with small populations in Western countries due to emigration). They are a relatively distinct Shiite Islam-derived religion. However, when Hafez Assad, an Alawite took power, many non-Alawite Muslims were angry arguing that a non-Muslim (i.e. an Alawite) should not have power over Muslims. Desperate Hafez Assad asked if the Imams of Iran would "certify" that Alawites were Twelver Shiite Muslims. The cerification came and the riots in Syria died down. Currently, Bashar Assad and his family remain Alawites along with roughly 10% of the Syrian population. They are very afraid that if the Syrian Rebels win, there will be attacks and possibly a genocide against the Alawites.
What is Alawite Shiite Islam?
Alawite Shiite Muslims which are called 3alawiyya (علوية‎) in Arabic are a prominent mystical religious group centered in Syria who are considered to be part of Twelver Shiite Islam. Alawites, similar to other Shiites have incredible reverence for Ali ibn Abi Talib (the fourth Rightly-Guided Caliph). Many non-Alawites have a accused the Alawites of elevating this reverence to level of prophethood or divinity, which would make Alawites non-Muslims. Correspondingly Alawites have consistently denied such remarks. Alawites are most commonly known for their role in governing Syria since Hafez al-Assad and Bashar al-Assad are both Alawites and many government officials in Syria are Alawites. This may soon change if the Sunni rebels succeed in the Syrian Civil War. The largest population of Alawites is in Syria and they represent 12% of the Syrian population (2.6 million people). There are also significant populations of Alawites in Turkey (around 750,000) and in Lebanon (120,000) Alawites were long persecuted for their beliefs by various Sunni Muslim rulers of Syria, until the French took over the French Mandate of Syria. Historically, Alawites were derogatorily called Nusayris after the founder of Alawite Shiite Islam: Ibn Nusayr, but they prefer the term Alawite since it connotes their connection to Ali. It is also worth noting that Alawites are different from Alevis in Turkey, even though these Twelver Shiite groups appear very similar.
